[The Collectors Showcase]

OTSN Show Report​

The Chicago show was by far the most successful show I've been to so far. It was great to see and meet all of the incredible collectors that make up this fun and exciting industry. At TCS we were able to showcase all of our great new products coming for Christmas, and what a reception we had!

By far the most popular products seemed to be the new Hanomag with jumpers. But collectors seemed quite bullish on the new Panther as well. It took some explaining to get across that all our vehicles now come with two left tracks: one thrown and one in regular running order. This of course ensures a myriad of diorama possibilities.

For the first year we were right out on manufacturers row and in front of the show entrance.

There are so many exciting possibilities ahead it seems a bit overwhelming at times. But isn't that creative process the reason why we're all involved? Its one of the greatest thing about the hobby.

Anyhow I look forward to a great Holiday season and an even better 2010, thanks to everyone that was at the show!

Happy Collecting!

Brian,

I know you probably don't want to give up too many secrets but, I was just wondering if you had any intentions of producing some artillery pieces relatively soon for your Napoleonic range? Thanks again for the great products you guys are putting out!

Congratulations on a wonderful show. Thanks for posting those pictures for everyone to enjoy. Those dioramas and the pieces they contain are very good work. My personal favourite is the summer hanomag with the figures jumping out, very dramatic. Continued success.

That Panther looks even better every time I see it. Still can't decide whether to get winter or other version. The halftrack is awesome too. And of course, the zouaves are a must. You have me drooling. Thanks for the diorama photos!!!

It was a pleasure to meet you and see your products. I look forward to my order arriving at my door. A Normandy Panther, Normandy Hanomag with jumpers and the Zulu war range.

I will soon be placing an order for the Winter Hanomag with jumpers for my nephew.

Along with the damaged Panther option I think the dead German crew set is really good,its different and it will help make for a great Normandy dio,looking forward to picking this up in London.
